If it makes you feel any better, I have no objections on Trial Machine PhoeniX WrighT's Heavy. I thought it was Perfect! No, Marvelous!!
#Infinity, how does the song sounds thin? What does that even mean? The song is the busiest of all entries in the entire bracket, far too busy to even make out all the noises! What did you suppose k//eternal did, then? Make a 6 foot chart for a Trip Machine remix? That'd be a first. It sounds like you're looking for an excuse to dock points. Believe me, I understand that the mash-up sucks other than for the concept, but I think you're being a bit unfair by not really stating what you found wrong with the patterns in the chart themselves and are relying heavily on the whole "the song didn't warrant this difficulty" argument.
Also, jammitch! has faulty reviews. He gave Good Time a 4 in presentation and SPARKS FLY a 2 because Good Time has two full sets of charts and SPARKS FLY only has one extra chart. What about the graphics? Appropriate song cut? Aspects that were actually required?
Remember this?
You're giving an unfair advantage to others who included extras by basically replacing the "presentation" field with "graphics and extras", rating graphics alone out of a possible 3 points instead of 5 and then adding points for files with unnecessary material that you probably didn't look into any further than noting its existence after seeing it listed on the song wheel. Essentially, every song should start with a 5 in presentation and then be docked for poor or flawed graphics. Songs can regain lost points with extras, but they're seemingly expected in your reviews in order to get full presentation points. What if a song doesn't have a music video made for it? That seems to be the only thing holding back Space Truckin' from a full 5 points. I find it hard to make sense how you expect people to turn in their personal renditions of the Mona Lisa along with added features, like eyebrows, to a simfile competition when you yourself slipped up on graphics this contest. The situation of extras was a real problem years ago with OSC BoNG, so please don't contribute to a repeat in the much evolved system we have now.
Just so ya'll know in advance, BLueSS is letting me tally up the votes. That means I have final say in who and what counts for the first round when I compile the point totals in Excel. I'm not saying I'm going to exclude your vote because I don't like your opinion, but when you disregard the guidelines that are clearly stated and have been discussed, I can't tolerate misinformation, especially when one review can make the difference between a file moving on and getting cut.
